Does Ted Cruz not understand Net Neutrality?

Is this regulating trade among the several states? If it's not, it falls under the 10th amendment. The federal government has no authority.

How is it not regulating trade among states? Again, if you don't like what they're doing, lobby your rep, or file a lawsuit. If it flies, it flies. My money is on it getting thrown out.

Can someone change Frost's name to "The Constitution", or does the board need at least a 2/3's vote to do that?

What is being traded? Are states taxing each other's internet as it comes into their state? If not, the document states it's a 10th amendment issue. If you wish the federal government to have jurisdiction, please call an Article 5.

Money, goods, and services are being traded across state lines.

This shows a flaw in pure free-market. When the government and the corporations act like cunts, the consumers get fucked.

Dicks fuck pussies, but they also fuck assholes.

Frost probably doesn't care about this. He's out in the sticks with a 1mb/250kb connection and thinks he's riding high and mighty paying $40 a month for it.

More importantly, it keeps the internet out of the hands of big ISP's. On Monday morning, President Obama made a public statement urging the FCC to take strong measures to protect net neutrality. Obama does not want internet service providers to have the ability to block content or require additional payment for faster service for certain content providers. The feeling is that if net neutrality is not protected, large ISPs (internet service providers) like Verizon, Comcast and AT&T can decide who will be affected by slower speeds, based on the content they provide or the ability of larger companies to pay more for faster service. Is Cruz arguing that Obama’s proposal, if adopted by the FCC, would slow down the entire Internet? If so, then it seems he is totally missing the point (i.e., speed for all, rather than speed for some)

Somehow I think Cruz is just spraying bullets at Obama and has no idea what this is really about. Disappointing statements from him.
